CJ, > Well, see, this is why I openly wonder about your grasp of economics.

I don't have time to follow your "nuances" or play your gotcha games.

You can point out how deficit spending in any way, shape, or form pumps "funny money" into an economy, similar to the way all the home refis of the past several years did. Technically that can be considered a stimulus (although I would argue otherwise, since the assumption is that without the government spending, the economy wouldn't have picked up the slack).

But to use that "nuance" to assume that I have no grasp of economics, or to assume that I believe the tax money goes into a "black hole," is useless and condescending. Great trolling tactics, though.
